LEMON-HERB MARINATED FETA
Briny feta, tart lemon, bright herbs and hot pepper come together in perfect harmony here. Spoon this appetizer onto a round of buttery, toasted French bread for a perfectly balanced bite that you'll want to keep eating all night. That's right, this easy and elegant recipe is perfect for a party. It's low-effort, tastes great and is sure to impress, despite the fact that its ingredient list is short and mostly utilizes bits and bobs of ingredients you might already have on hand. Feta might be the exception to that rule, but that's exactly what we were going for when we developed this recipe: a way to showcase the divine flavor of this special cheese. So mix this up in advance of your next party, and watch your guests go gaga over this marinated app-there's no need to reveal how easy it was to make.

Steps:
- In pint-sized glass jar, arrange herbs, lemon, peppercorns and pepper flakes. Top with cheese. Pour olive oil over cheese mixture; cover and refrigerate 3 days. Serve with toasts. Any leftover cheese mixture can be covered and refrigerated up to 4 days longer.
- At least 1 1/2 hours before serving, make the toasts. Heat oven to 350°F. Spray 15x10x1-inch pan with cooking spray. Bake French bread 24 to 26 minutes or until browned. Cool completely, at least 30 minutes. Cut into 1/2-inch slices. Brush slices on both sides with melted butter. Return to pan; bake 10 to 15 minutes, turning once, until light golden brown.

MARINATED FETA THREE WAYS
With just a few ingredients and some hands-off time, feta cheese can be transformed into a delicious appetizer to serve with crostini or as an accompaniment to grilled vegetables and meat. We came up with a trio of super versatile flavor combinations that are all made following the same method. By marinating the feta in glass jars, you'll be able to see the colors of the aromatics, for a beautiful and delicious gift too.

Steps:
- For each of the above combinations, place all ingredients except for the feta in a small saucepan and gently heat over medium low just until tiny bubbles begin to form, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool completely, about 1 hour.
- Once the infused olive oil is cool, transfer half of the aromatics from the saucepan to a 16-ounce Mason jar followed by half of the feta. Repeat layering and then carefully pour the infused olive oil into the jar. Gently press the feta down if needed to ensure it is fully submerged and seal the jar with its lid (see Cook's Note). Place the jar in the refrigerator and allow the feta to marinate for at least 12 hours and up to 5 days.
- Remove the jar from refrigerator at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the solidified olive oil to liquify.
LEMON HERB FISH FILLETS
I adapted this simple recipe from Sara Moulton. Please note that the herbs and salt are divided - part for the fish and part for the sauce. You can use dried or fresh herbs, and you can use any light fish. The dried herbs I use are Herbes de Provence (a blend of thyme, marjoram, rosemary, basil, fennel, sage, and lavender) I'm sure various combinations will work. Or you can use 1/2 TBS each fresh chopped herbs: chives, chervil, parsley and tarragon from the original recipe.

MARINATED FETA WITH HERBS AND PEPPERCORNS
The best recipes often make a good ingredient great through minimal effort. For this easy appetizer, start with good-quality feta, preferably in brine, which is creamier than the squeaky supermarket varieties. Many commercial fetas use only cow's milk and can taste somewhat one-note, so look for one that contains both sheep's and goat's milk, which provide the cheese's signature tang. Dice the feta, toss it with preserved lemon, peppercorns and chile, and refrigerate overnight. Spoon it onto crostini, or serve it alongside eggs, fish, salad, grilled or roasted vegetables or atop a bowl of pasta.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, stir together the olive oil, parsley, preserved lemon, chile, oregano and peppercorns.
- Cut the feta into 1/2-inch cubes and add them to the olive oil mixture. Gently fold together until feta is evenly coated. Transfer to a jar or lidded container and drizzle with more olive oil, if needed to immerse the feta. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours.
- Remove from refrigerator at least 30 minutes before serving to allow solidified olive oil to return to liquid form. Serve with crackers or crostini, or spoon on top of seared fish, grilled or roasted vegetables, pasta or salad.
